English weather can kill the mood sometimes so you have to outpace it by making the most of the sunniest of days. One never knows how soon we shall see the bright skies. So we packed things up as if we were going away for a week and headed off to countryside to have a picnic on the grass. I'm so excited to be sharing what we overdid (ball games and freesbie to start with) and who accompanied us for the entire Mad Hatter day!
It started off fabulously with picnic only crumbs of bread were left as a result. Because spring sandwiches with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber and pepper thrilled the eyes and exhausted from badminton bodies had to satisfy their craving. Relaxed feel, fresh air and sunshine stimulated our next activity of running, cycling, playing football until there was no breath left. As kids quickly adjust to the scenery looking for some sneaking out, we decided to pack our belongings, use our men as carriers and walked trails of lawn afterwards loosing track of time. Felt like we were a million miles away from nearest town! While the boys got into their own dialogue I chatted with my sister-in-law about recent more and less important things (with less important being over talked about). Due to our busy work schedules we tend to see each other on far too less occasions, I definitely want more so girlie night out in mind for sure. Melody is much younger then me (let's not concentrate on that part of the story ;) but we get on really well sharing similar views on parenting and fashion (I admire her black and white styling moods) and not so identical on hair styles but I couldn't be happier with anyone else in tow. Nadia loved every minute of the sweaty adventure playing with her cousins tirelessly (after first half an hour of trying to posses every piece of equipment we took along not allowing anyone to put a hand on them). Nothing’s better than days like today. Or maybe a little bit more of them.

Used of all our energy we became hungrier than we could cope so delicious grilled chicken and chips at Nando's saved the evening. You need so little else when tummies are full and fabulous people sit around. Thank you guys for a fun time to remember!
♥ It's Damian's birthday today!!! Happy thirty something, baby! ♥
